Summary
"If all fathers fulfilled their duty of watching over the discipline of their children, we should have but few crimes and few executions." ~ St. Alphonsus Ligori
If you haven't listened to MFP239 on the foundations of discipline, you should do that first. This podcast will give the practical steps for those principles. Once a parent has clear in their mind why they are discipling and they have made a plan on following through, they need to actually work that plan! In this podcast we give the practical things to keep in mind as you work to discipline, or form the hearts and minds of your children. There are six questions you should ask yourself when evaluating your child's actions. Not all behavior is a child acting out or defying you. How do you know the difference and how should you respond? Listen in!

| 0:45.3 | continue with your dishes or commuting or whatever happens to be going on. And I think that this is, |
| 0:50.3 | I'm excited about this episode just because the last episode, it was very clear that this was a very |
| 0:55.8 | pressing topic. Yes. We've heard a lot of folks about this. From a lot of families. They really |
| 1:01.8 | want to know what we think about this and they parents are desperate for ideas. And so I think we |
| 1:06.3 | set a good foundation last episode and we want to continue giving some more practical advice on this |

| 1:24.6 | years is we're encouraging you to start the summer right and join in the play and pray challenge. |
| 1:32.5 | Play and pray. |
